Don’t you love when you take a chance on something that you buy and pinterest validates it? I loved this jacket the minute I saw it in the store and then my sweet mom bought it for me. (The screaming fit I threw must have really worked on her. I still got it.) Then I found this outfit on pinterest a couple of weeks later and I knew I’d made the right choice. Well, my mom made the right choice. Thanks mom for the jacket, a good head of hair and my keen sense of shopping. I owe you one.

I love the inspiration photo, but how you paired it even more. Stripes are always a good buy.

Yours is my favorite style blog :] Also I'm glad you wear that bag in like all your posts because I'm obsessed.
So perfect. Those shorts are wonderful and you are so right about that jacket! Perfect for the upcoming fall too! 🙂

I love the vertical stripe trend because I think it's so wearable…and the cut of this jacket is perfection on you!

Great jacket. That pin you found is one of my favorites 🙂
Adorable Kendi! Love the jacket and the loose fit of the shorts and tee. I was back and forth about a pair of shoes a couple of weeks ago, then went on Pinterest and saw the "life's short, buy the shoes" quote, so that validated me buying them! haha Damn, Pinterest!

I've been toying with buying that jacket for a few weeks now! It looks fantastic on you!
Gorgeous jacket Kendi.. what a nice mom you have 🙂

Your blog is relatable and useful. I really commend your realistic approach on high/low fashion. I am so confused by blogs from girls living in small towns with no job showcasing luxury designers. Personally, I feel it is really douche to eat at the Olive Garden wearing Valentino. Bad credit is not chic. Congrats on a rad blog.
Legs for days! I love those shoes and that blazer, you look great!

oh, I love the striped jacket! and your necklace – it's super pretty. 🙂
You look great! Love the color of those shorts – my favorite.
bahaha you win for funniest comment. funny story: i used to eat at olive garden in college with my now husband then boyfriend and we would go on our pay day because that was the fanciest place in town and we were fancy. i'd drink the house blush wine because I was chic even at the age of 21. we would also ask for extra breadsticks and then take them home to eat later in the week. I am nothing if not classy.
Actually yes. I have worn the heck out of this tee all summer. Now granted I was gifted this top but I will buy this top in a different color (maybe white?) just to have a good basic to wear. It's pricey but the quality is really good, I was it hand wash cycle with woolite and never dry it and it is just as nice as when I first received it. If you are looking for a quality piece to wear year to year then yes, I would say it's worth it. I will be sad the day that this top falls apart.
very nice look!

love the jacket!
I love your style, I have a question, do you know of any mens style blogs that I can reference? My husband is turning 30 in a few months and he wants to up his style from cargos and gym clothes to button ups and some type of trendy shoe. I see tons of women blogs but nothing for men that are athletes that may want some style in their lives. Please advise. Thanks Kendi!
I love

so good! love the stripes and the richness of that short color reminds me that im ready for fall!
I second that! She's so awesome!
A vertical stripe is SO hard to find. Is it just me? I LOVE them though. This is so chic, Kendi. And if Pinterest is validating you, that's all you really need. 😉
